An intelligent Potato people. Star faring. A silver energy generating armor surrounds them. Very hard to penetrate it. They love all things meat and they pay top dollar for sentient meats. Sentient meats are so savory. Sentient life brains are considered a delicacy and sex enhancer.
They also love any earth food containing potatoes. They don't consider eating their non-intelligent cousins cannibalism. What they consider it is sexy.
